KU Week 4 (27th March) - Inkigayo LIVE

So...

yes...

I WENT TO SBS INKIGAYO LIVE SHOW!!!!!!!!!

Woohooo~~

* * *

Wait wait...

I should start with what I did on Sunday morning first

before I crazily blog on Inkigayo...

So on Sun morning

I finally met my ex-homestay sister :)

a sweet girl whom i spent 1D1N at her place 1.5 yrs ago

during my Yonsei trip

so so so happy to be able to meet her again :)

and

we went to another korean traditional houses village

but this time

no

not the Namsan Hanok Village again

but a place called 북촌한옥마을 Bukchon Hanok Ma'eul

though it's a tourist site

but it's not as "touristic" as the Namsan village

it's actually a residential area

with those traditional houses preserved~

ooooo....i'm loving it~~~

Me with my ex-homestay sis ^^

There're lots of slopes, but I really didn't mind climbing up and down so to explore around

and yes, there are still people living in those traditional houses!!

This village is getting famous among the local Koreans as well

mostly due to its appearance in the variety show "1 Night 2 Days"

and if you've watched the K-Drama called

개인의 취향 （个人取向 Personal Preference)

by the famous Lee Minho 李敏鎬 (the F4 Gu-junpyo)

you might have remembered the unique house appearing in the show

the 상고재 相婟材

oh yes yes

the house is located at this village as well

BUT

haiz haiz

we didn't manage to find the house :(

Anyway

I LOVE THIS VILLAGE!!!

here's a little advice to those going Seoul:

you may skip Namsan Hanok Village

but you mustn't miss this Bukchon Hanok Village

though it's seldom included in the tour agency itinerary...

(self-note: to be visited again when flowers blossom to search for the house again~)

Alright alright

i shall start blogging on 110327 SBS Inkigayo (인기가요 人氣歌謠)

:PP

The story actually started on the past Wed night

I suddenly remembered that I've gotten my Alien Registraion Card (IC for foreigner)

which means

I can now sign-up on all the Korean websites

the first one I went

was SBS website

why?

Because of Jokwon the MC :)

so...

I've struggled more than half an hour

to read through the instructions and submit application for ticket etc etc

and wait...wait for results

and results came out on Thurs afternoon

and I struggled through all the Korean instructions again

and

I GOT SELECTED?!!?!!

OH I GOT THE TICKET!!!!

OMG SUPER LUCKY!!!!

One "pass" for 2 persons, so i went with another NUSian ^^

The show starts at 15:50

and admission starts at 15:00

so

my friend and I decided to go there "earlier", just in case...

so we reached there at 14:30

lotsssss of people had already been queueing in front of the SBS building

heard that those fan groups actually started queueing since 6AM >.<

well...I'm grateful that I got a ticket~~

so

we went forward to the "security officers" (i.e Men in Black, MIB)
and showed him my pass

and checked for my name on his list
and got my pass "signed"

and we're directed to queue at the line labelled 501-600

glad that their queueing system is really well-organised

everyone seems to know where to queue and what to do next

the fans were really "experienced"

my friend and I simply followed what others did, hahaa~

and very soon...

we were inside...the gate... :P

by the way, i think we can still cut into the queue even if late, as long as have the ticket/pass

Fan groups still waiting outside; and there're lots of MIB~~

and we waited and waited and waited

finally...

the entrance was opened around 15:15~

AND I FINALLY WAS INSIDE THE STUDIO!!!!!

photography wasn't allowed in the studio

but people still tried to take photos secretly

when spotted by those "Men in Black"

they will just flashed their torchlights towards your cameras

no confiscation, unless you keep doing it so openly in front of him

i saw a girl's phone got snapped away, and the MIB just erased everything from it >.<

the studio was quite small

but everyone got to sit comfortably

and the good thing about small studio is that

THE STAGE IS CLOSE!!!!

ooooo~~~~

Hehe...

everything was so well-organised and in order

i'm truly impressed by SBS, as well as the fan groups

fan groups were crazy, but they're super "civilised"

they screamed alot, but they kept quiet when the MCs were talking

and they had "scripts" for them to shout out specific lines while their idols were singing

and they respect other fans and idols as well

the girls sitting in front of me were Dalmatian's fans

they were so so so crazy, waving hands, banners etc etc when Dalmatian came on stage

but they sat back quietly when Dalmatian's stage was over so not to block others behind them

one word: civilised~~

There're at least 6 cameras working; it's interesting to see how they move the cameras around...
Do note: it's a LIVE tv show~~

The stage is really close!! Where's Kwonie?? Well...poor kwonie injured his leg, so i guessed that's why he's not opening the show...aiya missed the chance to grab a photo of him :(

DBSK won~~ I only managed to take this low-quality photo with my iPhone, coz there's a MIB standing next to me >.<

For more photos (but not in good quality),

do visit my FB here....

For video coverage of 110327 Inkigayo,

please youtube/pps yourself (click here)

i have no videos :PP

Anyway,

here's one of my favourite moments during the show:

Kwonie stammered over the phrase 작사작곡 (作詞作曲)

then got teased by Yonghwa: "Must you do that when I come back? (rough translation)"

Kwonie: "Oh I'm nervous..."

and kwonie actually did a very cute movement to show his "nervousness"

too bad not shown on TV

(but you can still see him hugging his arms when the camera focused back to him)

hehe...

by the way... I still feel Yonghwa as one of the MCs there

haiz...why must he leave inkigayo :(

Well well...

I'll keep trying my luck to get tickets into Inkigayo again (and other music show too)

hopefully next time I'll get to sit near the MC stage

ya, the MC stage was a little too far from where I sat

and I couldn't really see kwonie and other MCs

Sidenote:

Kwonie hurt his leg

I think that's why he kept sitting on the MC stage all the time

hehe

at first i thought he's so 大牌

other MCs all went down the stage when not filming, while he alone sat there

he simply leaned aside against the wall/pillar when the camera wasn't filming him but other MCs

he didn't even give out his seat to the Sulli nor IU, what a man :P

but now we know...he's injured and couldn't moved around...

poor kwonie >.<

* * *

It's really fun and memorable to attend such a LIVE tv show

amazing to look at those cameramen operating the cameras

though they keep blocking my view :P

also

the dry ice...

it's funny to see the backstage crew "mopping and fanning" away the dry ice after end of each stage

and

I learned that not all performance are LIVE on TV

ya

some were pre-recorded

and the singers just went on stage again

sort of "fan service" this time, while the tv broadcasting the pre-recorded performance

eg:

- ZeA and Infinite were soooo lovely and kept waving at fans

- While Big Bang were faithfully singing and dancing properly, Seungri was hyperactive and playing around

- CN Blue walked around and played with other's piano while waiting on stage

- DBSK...well...a bit too serious on stage i think, even though theirs not LIVE on tv...

Lastly

I shall end my super long blog with this song

my new favourite:

내꺼 중에 최고 (Best in My Life) by 이현 (Lee Hyun)

powerful and thick voices

i consider it as the best singing performance on 110327 inkigayo
